🧪 Toxic Comment Classifier

🧪 Toxic Comment Classifier is a simple yet effective machine learning project that detects toxic comments in both English and Russian.
It uses classical NLP techniques (TF-IDF + Logistic Regression) for real-time text classification.

Whether you're building a moderation system or just exploring NLP, this project is a great starting point.

📦 Description

The script:

• Downloads and extracts English and Russian toxic comment datasets.
• Merges them into training and testing sets.
• Uses TfidfVectorizer to convert text into numerical features.
• Trains a logistic regression model.
• Saves the model and vectorizer to model.pkl.
• Allows the user to input a comment and checks if it is toxic.

🔍 Example Usage

Comment	Classification
"You're stupid and nobody likes you!"	❌ Toxic
"Have a great day!"	✅ Kindness

📈 Model Performance

The model prints the accuracy score after training.

🧠 Technologies Used

• Python 3
• scikit-learn
• NLTK
• pickle
• TF-IDF vectorization
• Logistic Regression

📌 Notes

• ✅ Supports both English and Russian comments.
• 🧪 Uses only the toxic label (binary classification)
• 💾 The model is saved to avoid retraining on each run.
• 🚀 Avoids retraining if a saved model exists
